Brazilian Cherry Humidor

[WaxingMoon]

Finally, after relocating to Charleston, SC.... I was able to make some sawdust today!!! I got an excellent start on this humidor, which is Jataboa (Brazilian Cherry)... this will be Brazilian Cherry throughout with minimal accents with Ebony (splines).....

Dimensions are 20" x 14" x 12" which should yield a 480 count humidor....

I'll keep ya'all posted as she goes.... thanks for all your support!

I have a feeling this is gonna be a sweet thread!

I love watching these threads progress! Good luck! I have no doubt that it will be a great humi! I love Brazilian Cherry and Walnut.

I had a good day in the shop today..... I sand her down and applied some stain on the baseboard.... my client wanted a little contrast, but with the same wood..... I will do the same on the lid....

I then measured out and cut the splines... I went with the big fat ones on this one.... as she's a big box and.... well, just happened to have some big fat chunks of ebony laying around....

Then.... I drilled the holes for the hinges....and cut off the "lid"... or at least cut off the piece that will be glued to the lid....

Won't be long and we can call her a humidor!

It looks great, I can't wait to see how it looks completed

[Bill86]

Man I wish I had that woodworking skill, I am anxious to see the finished product.

[WaxingMoon]

She's coming along....slowly but surly.... still working on sanding the lid.... it's a pretty good size lid and with only a 10" blade....well, left a nice ridge of some very hard Brazilian Cherry that needed (needs) to be leveled out... but, she's coming along.....

I should be able to stain the lid to match the base and assemble it tomorrow... at least that's the goal.... Then, the lining.... can't wait, as it's all downhill from there...

:dr That looks very nice Ed, what's that a 300-400 count?

By using the standard formula of 100 cigars per 700 cubic inches.. it should be right at 480... But, trays, cigar size, hydration devices....etc... will take away from that....

[Bill86]

That's about what I was guessing looks like a beauty. At the rate I'm going someday I definitely might contact you about one of your very nice handmades :tu

[elderboy02]

Nice work! :tu

[WaxingMoon]

This evening I milled the space for the lid stay and finished sanding the lid and stained it to match the base.... I will work on the lining tomorrow and once that's done...mount the lid. Build a few trays and shine it up and she'll be on her way to Mobile, Alabama...... Still a little ways to go, but it's down hill from here.

I put another 4 coats on her today.... plus let it set out in the sun all day long to darken it up.... looks like it did a pretty good job getting darker....

Is that a manican in the back with a cigar in its hand?

That IS a manican in the back with a cigar in its hand! :r

[sevans105]

Seriously guys?? MANICAN??? Did you not see that fantastical 80's movie "Mannequin". It's the only time Kim Cattrall looked like a woman! And she was a fake woman!

[WaxingMoon]

Is that a manican in the back with a cigar in its hand?

LOL.... Yep...that's my silent Partner..."Binny"....

[hammondc]

Very very nice job. I am considering a humidor build. This shows me a few things I was curious about.

[Eleven]

wtf is a Manican?
